Does Inhaling Mold Cause Bleeding In The Nose?

My boyfriend was recently cleaning out his mother's basement and it has a lot of mold down there. He said that he inhaled it but it would be fine. Well soon after his nose was bleeding orange. This has never happened before. He's had some headache but not severe ones, and he's been feeling a little dizzy. He's been sleeping a lot and felt a little sick yesterday. I'm very worried because it's not normal. Any reasons why this could be happening? From inhaling mold or something else. Is it something to be very concerned about? Please help.
